Following the attack on San Bernardino, a mosque in the Coachella Valley was firebombed. The act of ISIS-inspired terror in the Inland Empire - coming just weeks after a music hall in Paris was targeted - only fanned the flames of Islamophobia. The hate crime in Indio demonstrated the fear and broad mistrust of an entire population in spite of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are peaceful seekers of the American Dream. To conclude our series on mental health in the wake of the San Bernardino attack, KVCR's Matt Guilhem looks at how area Muslims process the scrutiny they receive.
